PDT1005 Inclination
Sensor
Many modern air suspension systems utilise an electronic level
sensor that feeds back information to a central controller which
in turn adjusts the pressure of the air below suspension units
to equalise an off balanced load.
In recent years air suspension technology has evolved from only
being used in truck trailers and heavy load vehicles to modern
trucks, cars, camera vehicles and motor homes. In some cases
the air below assists the conventional suspension system and
gives added support or adjustment when a vehicle is loaded with
heavy items. Having a level sensor on the vehicle is the best
way to automatically adjust the suspension to suit a specific
load.

Comus tilt sensors are a proven and reliable choice for monitoring
and leveling high rise window cleaning platforms and hydraulic
lifts where safety is second to none and now the same technology
that is relied upon for personal safety is being used in vehicle
leveling devices. With a full range of inclination, acceleration
and shock sensors our engineers are happy to offer advice, designs
and technical support.

APPLICATIONS
Our Smart Sensors have found a home in the most diverse of applications
and industries:
 medical devices such as hospital beds
 vehicle leveling and/or alarm control sensing
 solar panel positioning
 safety sensing for heaters where equipment has to be kept
in relative level state

The picture to the left gives one example of a truck using the
PDT1 005 to evenly distribute the weight of its load. The PDT1
005 is used in the truck's suspension to prevent one side of
the truck from leaning over because of a heavier load located
only on one side. Our smart sensor is located below the truck's
trailer to send information to the suspension for adjustments
when necessary. This prevents the truck from tipping over and
possibly causing a fatal accident.
